Liu Bei waved his hand to stop and said: "Ziqing, Yide don't need to say much, I have made up my mind, no matter what, they are all the people of Xuzhou, they are all the people of my Han, and now I am imprisoned here, my parents, wives and children at home rely on each other, hoping that they will return home and reunite as soon as possible, if I kill them, then how many orphans and widows will be in Xuzhou, and how they will live in the future, you may not have experienced it, but I Liu Bei has personally experienced it, I lost my father when I was young, and I have depended on my mother since I was a child, and the contempt of neighbors, and the bullying of local ruffians, Even playmates of the same age insult you as a fatherless child, and there is no adult man in the family, and the sadness is unimaginable. Saying that, Liu Bei seemed to remember something, and a layer of mist filled his eyes.

What is righteousness, that is, not caring about personal gains and losses, even if you know that you may fall into danger if you do so, you still have your own principles and still stick to the end, this is Liu Bei, is this how Liu Bei's popular hearts have been accumulated bit by bit?

When everyone in the camp heard Liu Bei's words, many people also thought of their mother, wife and children, the reluctance of their relatives to say goodbye when they left home, the tearful eyes of their mothers, the entrustment of their wives to come back safely, and the immature children's voices of the children's 'father come back to play with me', all of them were moved with enthusiasm.

Yes, they are just the most ordinary members in the vast sea of people, and they are only the most ordinary people in the crowd, and even only the lowest type of people in the entire society, but Liu Bei gave them respect, lowered himself to stand on an equal footing with them, and touched the softest place in their hearts with the most ordinary and ordinary words. In fact, people are sometimes so simple, you respect me, I respect you. The mouth can spit roses and tribulus terrestris, this is Liu Bei's personality charm.

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "He Man, open the camp gate, Xianhe, give them a certain amount of travel money, let them leave as soon as possible to reunite with their families." ”

"This" He Man looked at Liu Bei hesitantly, then at Gao Ping, and Jian Yong also looked at Gao Ping.

At this time, Gao Ping also fell into deep thought, and the mother of the child was worried that it was likely that the old mother of one of them was sitting under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, looking forward to her son's return with her cloudy eyes open; Or maybe the newlywed wife is staying alone in the empty room at the moment, tidying up the room, waiting for her husband to come home; And the babbling child may have called out to his father in his dreams to hug me.

They still have relatives waiting at home, am I doing something wrong? Shouldn't they be allowed to go home and reunite with their families like the lord did?

At the same time, Gao Ping remembered his parents in his previous life, although his father was very strict with him, and his mother was also very nagging, but now he can no longer see it.

It's not a close relative, who will be strict with you, not a loving mother, who will nag you, that is the father's expectation that his son will become a dragon, and the son is still a child in the eyes of his mother, and there are always endless instructions. Gao Ping couldn't help but feel sad, his eyes turned red for no reason, was it wind, or did sand enter his eyes, and Gao Ping, who was deep in thought, didn't see He Man Jianyong's urgent eyes.

Seeing that He Man didn't move for a long time, Liu Bei shouted loudly: "This is a military order, do you want to disobey?" I don't want to repeat it a second time" is rare in his voice with a powerful killing aura.

Liu Bei was really angry, don't forget that Liu Bei not only has a benevolent side, but also walked all the way through the corpses of countless people after years of fighting.

"No" He Man couldn't help but tremble in his heart, the lord had never lost his temper, and it turned out that the lord was so terrible when he became majestic.

He Man didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly commanded his subordinates to open the gate of the wall.

As soon as the gate opened, the people inside rushed out, but they did not flee in all directions, and they squeezed in front of Liu Bei and knelt down

"General Xie's grace not to kill"

"General Liu is a benevolent gentleman, and we are willing to die to repay the service"

"We want to help General Liu defeat Cao Bao, and if we don't defeat Cao Bao, we will never go home"

"There is only one state pastor in Xuzhou, that is Lord Liu Xuande, everyone else is a rebellion, we have to help General Liu quell the rebellion"

"Nowadays, in the world, how can the officials treat us as human beings, only General Liu treats us with sincerity, if we leave, we will return to the township and will be despised by our families and neighbors, we are willing to serve General Liu's account, and swear to defend Xuzhou to the death."

"Defend Xuzhou and drive out rebellion"

"Defend Xuzhou and drive out rebellion"

The shouts shook the sky, and under Liu Bei's infection, the crowd was excited, and the voices came and went, unanimously asking to join Liu Bei's army to quell the rebellion in Xuzhou.

Although the process was different from what Gao Ping expected, the result was beyond his imagination. Of course, the middle-aged man and several others who took the lead in spreading rumors were all pretended by Gao Ping at the behest of "Shadow". Gao Ping's original intention was to first create rumors among the troops to make them panic, and then Liu Bei made a word of comfort, and then carried out incorporation, although it could not ensure how high its loyalty was, but at least it could help defend the city and maintain local law and order, etc., the current military emergency can only be a slight expedient measure, and after the rebellion of the Tao brothers is quelled, they will be systematically selected and co-opted.

didn't expect his lord's generous statement, but instead subdued the hearts of these soldiers. No matter what Liu Bei's fighting skills are in history, this aspect of winning people's hearts is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.

"Okay" Seeing that Liu Bei was silent, Gao Ping waved his hand to stop the noise of everyone and said: "Since you insist on joining the lord's command, then everyone will be the lord's soldiers in the future, and you should also abide by the rules formulated by the lord. ”

Everyone looked at Gao Ping with a trace of fear, and the rumors killed people.

Liu Bei appeased everyone again, and then ordered more than 1,000 of them to be sent to Xuzhou to recuperate, and the remaining 9,000 people were all scattered and enriched into various parts.

Xuzhou, Donghai County, Tan County is the county of Donghai, after Cao Bao fled into Tan County with the remnants of the army, plus the original city guard county soldiers 12,000 people, Cao Bao on the one hand forcibly recruited people to strengthen the city wall, sent more people to guard the four gates, and at the same time sent people to collect grain and grass from the nearby county seats, and on the other hand, ordered the pottery merchant to repair the book to Cao Cao for help.

Two days later, Zhang Fei led 3,000 troops to the city to challenge, but Cao Bao closed the door without fighting.

In a few days, the messenger sent to Cao Cao reported that Cao Cao was fighting fiercely with Lu Bu, and he was about to defeat Lu Bu, and he had no time to clone at the moment, so that the pottery merchants and others would stick to the city, and after breaking Lu Bu, they would send troops to help, and another news made the pottery merchants and Cao Bao even more annoyed, the nearby county or Yan Cheng had already stored grain, or Yan Liu Bei cut off the grain route and could not transport the baggage, in short, only the two counties in the north promised to send the grain and grass in a few days, probably because they were far away from Liu Bei, thinking that Liu Bei could not threaten themselves.

Xiapi, after getting 9,000 surrendered troops, Gao Ping personally supervised the training of new recruits in the past few days, so that they could catch up with the pace of the original soldiers as soon as possible, and at the same time, Gao Ping let the "Shadow" do ideological education to these soldiers during the daily training interval, and slowly let them have a sense of belonging to Liu Beijun, and at the same time let them integrate into Liu Beijun as soon as possible, keep up with the training rhythm of the current sergeants, for which Gao Ping has made a lot of hard work, but after all, he is a newcomer, and the effect is not very ideal
